The latest Castlevania reboot is a real bone of contention here in the office, with us unable to agree on whether it's the right direction for the series to take. There's no denying that Lords Of Shadow a competent hack & slash platformer with incredible art direction that delivers half of the narrative through the sumptuous environments and creature design. On the other hand, it's more derivative than we ever expected from a Castlevania title... especially one that had (the bonkers) Hideo Kojima to fall back on. The only thing that we can agree on is that Zavvi have the best price for both platforms.
